What Happens When a Semiconductor Becomes a Superconductor?

Josephson junction structures—quantum devices made of two superconductors and a thin non-superconducting barrier—using different forms of germanium (Ge): super-Ge (in gold), semiconducting Ge (in blue), and super-Ge on wafer-level scale. Millions of Josephson junction pixels…


New Artificial Neurons Physically Replicate the Brain

An integrated spiking artificial neuron, with rich neuron functionality, single-transistor footprints, and low energy consumption for neuromorphic computing systems, can be created by stacking one diffusive memristor and one resistor on top of a transistor….


AI Is Learning to Be Selfish, Study Warns

Carnegie Mellon researchers found that the smarter an AI system becomes, the more selfishly it behaves, suggesting that increasing reasoning skills may come at the cost of cooperation. Credit: Stock Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University…
